## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

MULTIPLE, REPETITIVE SHORT FIELD (SPOT) LANDINGS WERE BEING PRACTICED ON A DUAL TRAINING FLIGHT AT THE HOME BASE, JACKSONVILLE EXECUTIVE AIRPORT (CRG) ON RUNWAY 32, THE ILS RUNWAY. ONE PARTICULAR APPROACH WAS VERY FLAT AND GETTING TOO CLOSE TO THE APPROACH LIGHTS ON SHORT FINAL. THE INSTRUCTOR INDICATED "MY CONTROL" TO ARREST THE SINK RATE. THE STUDENT PILOT KEPT HIS HAND ON THE THROTTLE DELAYING APPLICATION OF POWER. CONSEQUENTLY, THE AIRCRAFT WHEEL STRUCK ONE OF THE APPROACH LIGHTS, BREAKING THE LENS. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT. WITH THE INSTRUCTOR IN CONTROL, THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED ONTO THE RUNWAY AND LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
